Destination Wedding in Chillicothe Ohio

Top 4 Reasons to Have Your Wedding Ceremony & Reception

If you are searching for the perfect destination in Ohio to have your wedding ceremony and reception, Chillicothe, Ohio is the location for you! The Postmark in Chillicothe provides an opportunity for a big city wedding in a charming small-town setting for a fraction of the cost. And the town is filled with character, charm, history, and entertainment for you and your guests to enjoy!

Here are the top 4 reasons to have your wedding ceremony and reception in Chillicothe:

1. For the History & Nature:

Chillicothe has a lot of history, including that it’s the former capital of Ohio. The historical buildings are being preserved and renovated to create a charming, hip downtown strip. The Postmark, a former post office turned wedding venue, and The Pump House for the Arts, a former pumping station for Chillicothe water turned art museum, are perfect examples of that. 

Nature surrounds the town! There’s a park and gardens right down the street for perfect outdoor wedding photos. There are also multiple state parks and nature preserves to entertain both hikers and nature enthusiasts.

2. Chillicothe has The Best Shops & Restaurants

There are so many amazing restaurants & breweries you will have to come back to experience them all. On the weekends, you can go find everything from breweries with live music to ice cream and bulk candy. If you would like to know some of our favorites to have for your wedding, click here or just ask!

Some of the must-go-to spots are:

Grandpa Joe’s Candy Store. Think Willy Wonka. Entering this store is like walking into a dream. It creates childhood memories for young people and stirs up childhood memories for adults.

High Five Cakes is a Food Network champion. They create some of the best-tasting cakes and desserts around. They are on The Postmark’s preferred vendor list because they do an incredible job with all the cakes that our brides dream up.

The Pour House, 50 West, Old Capital Brewery, 7 Mile Smokehouse are all places you can find some handcrafted drinks and amazing food. There are many more options including diners, bars, breweries, and international cuisine. Chillicothe has something for everyone’s taste.

The Stack is the perfect little boutique to update your closet. We love Miss Jade! She was just named Ace. of Trades! You can read more here about The Stack.

Be sure to check out Downtown Chillicothe’s FB page and Ross County Visitor’s Bureau page for more things to see and do in Chillicothe. There are always events to attend. Check out this picture of Sand in the Streets held annually ending with a beach party in the streets in August.

3. Close to Most of Ohio’s Big Cities:

Chillicothe is only 50 miles from Columbus. It gives you the feel of a destination wedding but is still close enough for your guests from Columbus, Dayton, and Cincinnati to be able to come for the day without having to stay overnight. If they decide to stay, it will be a treat for them to enjoy all of the entertainment listed above.

The Letterbox is a 13-person house located right behind The Postmark. Couples can book a package that includes these accommodations or rent it separately for family or bridal party for the weekend. It can also be booked for honeymoons, weekend getaways, and more.

Because Chillicothe is outside the city limits of the big cities in Ohio, you will also save money on your wedding ceremony & reception but still have a once-in-a-lifetime experience you and the guests will be talking about years to come.

4. There are Places for All Ages:

Chillicothe has great spots for adults but we can’t leave out the little ones. The Mighty Children’s Museum & Triple Crown are both places the kids will enjoy. Yochtangee park, right up the street, has ponds for fishing, a skate park, many playgrounds, and a pool during the summer. If you come to visit in the winter, there is an ice skating rink right down the street! If you love baseball, you can catch a Chillicothe Paint baseball game! Friday night before your wedding is the perfect night to do this.
